1.	Hypotension (Low Blood Pressure) 06/01/2008 - "The present review evaluates the evidence available in the literature to see whether low-dose spinal anaesthesia for Caesarean section is effective in preventing maternal hypotension while at the same time guaranteeing effective anaesthetic conditions. " 03/11/1996 - "Inflatable splints and wrapping of the legs have been shown to be effective against hypotension during spinal anaesthesia for Caesarean section. " 08/01/1993 - "The study confirms that hypotension associated with spinal anesthesia for cesarean section cannot be eliminated by volume preloading in the supine wedged patient. " 10/01/1988 - "The efficacy of pneumatic compression of the lower limbs using inflatable leg splints in prevention of hypotension during spinal anaesthesia was assessed in an open study of 46 patients undergoing elective caesarean section. " 01/01/2008 - "Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation at the PC-5 and PC-6 acupoints reduced the severity of hypotension after spinal anaesthesia in patients undergoing Caesarean section."
2.	Infection 08/01/1986 - "A prospective, double-blind study was performed to evaluate the comparative efficacy of single- and multiple-dose antimicrobial prophylaxis for preventing infection in high-risk patients undergoing cesarean section. " 02/01/1980 - "A retrospective analysis was made of 186 consecutive primary cesarean sections performed on patients at high risk for infection to determine whether extraperitoneal cesarean section would have decreased the incidence of infections and other complications. " 10/15/2002 - "Because the efficacy of cesarean section in preventing vertical transmission of HPV infection from women with EGWs to their progeny has not been proved, it is not recommended." 11/01/1985 - "Prophylaxis has become established as effective for prevention of infection following vaginal hysterectomy and cesarean section, but its success in abdominal hysterectomy has been less uniform. " 06/01/1980 - "Despite the wealth of information concerning the efficacy of a wide spectrum of antibiotic regimens for the prevention or treatment of postcesarean section morbidity in the modern era, infection remains a problem that has merely been somewhat controlled. "
3.	Pain (Aches) 09/01/2006 - "Non-dissection of the rectus sheath inferiorly in Pfannenstiel incisions during Caesarean section procedures is associated with a significant reduction in the post-operative pain as well as a smaller drop in post-operative haemoglobin." 06/01/2006 - "The use of balanced analgesia has significantly improved acute pain management after cesarean section. " 07/01/2007 - "Both regional analgesia techniques followed by demand-only PCEA provided efficient pain relief for labor without changing the duration of labor or rate of cesarean section." 01/01/2013 - "Pain relief is a fundamental human right, but there is no gold standard for post-cesarean section pain management. " 08/01/2015 - "The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of postoperative shoulder tip pain (STP) after cesarean section and compare spinal and general anaesthesia with respect to STP. "
4.	Fetal Distress 07/01/2012 - "The CTG+Doppler group had significantly lower rates of cesarean section for fetal distress, and improved neonatal outcomes. " 05/01/2009 - "There was significant relief of variable decelerations in group I and no difference in overall cesarean section rate but significant reduction in cesarean section rate for fetal distress in group I, and significant reduction in cesarean section rate for fetal distress in nulliparous women of group I. Neonatal acidemia was also significantly reduced in the nulliparous women receiving AI. " 08/01/2005 - "The amnioinfusion group showed a significant reduction in the rate of cesarean section for fetal distress (relative risk [RR], 0.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.6-0.83), and a 30% reduction in abnormal fetal heart rate patterns (RR, 0.7; 95% CI, 0.6-0.83). " 06/01/1998 - "The total population showed no statistical difference in outcome parameters between groups 1 and 2. However, a subgroup of patients evaluated for suspected uteroplacental insufficiency did show a significant reduction in caesarean section for fetal distress in group 2 patients. " 05/01/1997 - "External version compared to breech extraction was associated with a significantly greater incidence of cesarean section (8/33 vs. 1/43, P = .008) and fetal distress (8/33 vs. 1/43, P = .008). "
5.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 10/01/2006 - "There was a significant reduction in episiotomy rate (from 14.90% to 8.6%, P = 0.02) in patients being cared for using a care pathway approach; however, there were no differences in caesarean section and in perineal wound rates. " 06/01/1991 - "Risk of blood contact was significantly greater for cardiothoracic (p less than 0.001), trauma (p less than 0.003) and obstetric cesarean section (p less than 0.021) procedures when compared with all other procedures. " 06/01/2013 - "Antibiotic profylaxis according to recent trials has been shown to be effective in reducing the risks of postoperative infectious complications particularly in women undergoing cesarean section, termination of pregnancy in I. and II. trimester and repair of extensive obstetric perineal injuries. " 08/01/2014 - "We sought to evaluate the efficacy of incisional negative pressure therapy in decreasing postoperative wound complications when placed prophylactically over clean, closed incisions following cesarean section in obese patients. " 01/01/2011 - "[The efficacy of topical application of bionect (hialuronic acid) in wound treatment after cesarean section]."
